Further education

With the impending dissolution of the LSC and the passage through Parliament of the Apprenticeships, Skills, Children and Learning Bill, the FE sector is facing major change and significant challenges. As an acknowledged leader amongst providers of legal services to the education sector from nursery to university, we have our finger on the pulse of these changes. Veale Wasbrough Vizards' inside knowledge of the sector enables us to offer practical solutions to the day to day issues faced by all types of FE colleges, academies and sixth form colleges.

Veale Wasbrough Vizards have a national reputation for experience and expertise across the whole range of legal, pastoral and public relations issues affecting the education sector. We act for more than 800 educational bodies, including academies, FE colleges, sixth form colleges, training colleges, universities, independent schools, nurseries and examining boards.

This means that we can work effectively with your school or college to produce pragmatic solutions because:

  • we understand the practical realities of management within the sector
  • we can think “outside the box”, recognising that the legal solution is only part of the wider picture
  • we offer proactive advice and bespoke training to ensure that you have the most cost and time effective procedures in place
  • our lawyers travel throughout England and Wales to meet clients face-to-face and get to know their institutions better
  • we can help you avoid unnecessary red tape, bureaucracy and expensive litigation

With ever increasing pressure on financial resources, we can help you focus this precious resource on the primary objective of meeting educational needs.
